Yobo Suju, an ultra-premium craft soju brand, is now introducing a new line of ready-to-drink cocktails by the name of Hunni. This line includes Hunni Sparkling Soju and unique flavors like Yuzu and Elderflower, Korean Pear Perilla Leaf and Lime, Peach and Chilli Pepper, and Grape and Ginger. These canned cocktails come in at 4% ABV and they boast colorful, abstract packaging. Soju is not only the national drink of South Korea, but it's also the world's best-selling liquor and it is becoming increasingly popular among consumers in North America who are favoring drinks with a lower alcohol content.
Hunni also includes Hunni K.Town beverages with the same flavors with more boldness and 18% ABV. These products are sold by the bottle, making it easy to distinguish between the difference in alcohol content.
